Showing results for "Animals" in Metaphysical & Visionary

When Rob Forbes returns to his childhood home of Zimbabwe after decades away, he doesn't plan to stay long. A big job back in London awaits. But he finds himself questioning his priorities when he experiences the open-hearted exuberance of people who have so little compared to his wealthy colleagues; a powerful reconnection to the animals and wild places he loved as a child; and a growing friendship with Tibetan guru and neighbour Rinpoche. What if it is possible to live with the same ineffable lightness as the intriguing lama?

With bravura storytelling, daring imagination, and fierce narrative control, this dazzling debut introduces that rare writer who finds humanity in our most unconventional behavior, and the humor beneath our darkest impulses. In these strange, funny, and unnerving stories, animals become the litmus test of our deepest fears and longings

Nach und nach beginnt sie sich für das Wesen der Tiger zu interessieren; dann, sie zu verstehen, und schließlich, sie zu lieben.
